A 100% “free” market allows people to sell their kidneys or themselves into

slavery. That the type of community you want to live in? A 100% “free” market allows the predatory and rapacious to leverage their assets and resources fully to make life extremely pleasant for them, while making it hard for your daughters and sons to obtain basic housing.

No. We just need to build more houses

7/18/21 1:17pm

Pretty sure a lot of areas are running out of space to do that.

Great. Let’s build more houses in the other areas that can support them and move jobs there

Allow for greater density.

Why?

Because they borrow from the FED at lower interest rates, then...

So your answer to not having a free market is to make it less free with more

Large corps can do that PRECISELY BECAUSE it is a free market.

Incorrect, sir

You want to restrict voluntary transactions. That’s less free.

No, I want the fed to allow the market to work, which will disincentivize

So you want to make it easier for borrowers by making debt more expensive.

Are you saying you want to make it easier for big investors by keep rates

Backcountry

7/18/21 2:33pm

No, I want to make it easier for little investors by keeping rates low.

Thats part of it, absolutely.

Pretty sure if you support free market it doesn’t necessarily mean….
